#12 Rachel Drummond – Loss, Trauma and the Life You Don’t See

About this episode

Join me as I sit down with Rachel Drummond. She’s been just about everywhere in golf, wearing a lot of hats along the way. Former Ladies European Tour pro, coach, broadcaster, and now travelling the world with LIV Golf as their on-the-ground voice. You might know Rachel as sympathetic, articulate, and always smiling. What you hear less often is what life has looked like away from the microphone. That is where this conversation goes. We talk about the rollercoaster she’s lived through so far. Grief and losing both of her parents. Identity. And the stuff you carry quietly while life keeps moving. Rachel also speaks openly about being sexually abused as a child, about keeping that to herself for years, and the moment she decided to talk about it publicly.
